This adorable set from Melissa & Doug includes the following six instruments in a wooden storage tray: a colorful mini-xylophone and mallet, a tambourine-like shaker, a harmonica, a whistle, and two red and blue castanets. These instruments are just the right size for little hands, and they're made with wood and metal (in the shaker and harmonica) so they're sturdy enough for even the most enthusiastic young musicians. This set would be a helpful tool in teaching listening skills and auditory discernment, as well as fostering fine motor skill development, creativity, and memory. A list of extension activities on the back of the packaging offers a few great ways to enrich your child's musical learning. Have fun making joyful noise with this set! ~ Rachel D.

You don't have to worry about losing any pieces here – all 25 bars of this deluxe xylophone are mounted inside a carry case! The notes include sharps and flats, and the bars are made of sturdy chrome steel. Two mallets are also provided.

These are not what you think of when you see “bells;” these look more like individual xylophone pieces. The set contains 8 notes in a rainbow of colors, and they produce delightful, melodious sounds. The bells are contained in a yellow carrying case with a handle, which also holds the two included mallets. Leave the set in the case to play or remove it into different configurations or split it up between children.
